B&B: Jacob Young, Justin Torkildsen or Kyle Lowder as Rick?

[Aback]

Lowder all the way.

I liked Young just fine, and was bummed when he left. Torkildsen was a total sap. He didn't fit on the canvas, and I agree with another poster that his Rick was going to become Thorne 2.0.

At first I didn't care for Lowder, but he's won me over with his portrayal of Rick the SOB. He's really good, and I hope he stays for a long time. The show needed a villain, and the fact that he is Brooke's son? Brilliant.

AMEN.

I think I agree with that.

I mean, I might hate Rick now, but KL is playing what he is written decently enough (is that kind of a back-handed complement?)

[rangethatrover]

Torkilsen without a doubt.

The other two strike me as completely laughable as straight men. Young is the better actor, but even so.

Lowder is so fake in everthing he does. yuck. yuck. yuck.

[DeeeDee]

Exactly.

[Quent]

I've never been a big fan of Young. And I absolutely hate Lowder in the role. So, I guess Torkilsen , by default.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Same here.

I liked Young in the role, and he fit it for that time. I prefer Torkildsen, hands down, but yeah, if he stayed, he'd be Thorne 2.0 and was basically verging on that towards the end. I've never liked Lowder and still don't. I think he's a good fit for what Brad Bell wants the character to be, but I think it's a ridiculous transformation. I just don't buy Rick as Ridge 2.0 and Lowder is too flamboyant and hammy for it to work and his Rick borders on someone you want to see shot and die.

ITA with your post. I feel exactly the same way about all 3

[DaytimeFan]

That's EXACTLY what I wanted to say...but you nailed it!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I keep waiting for Lowder to burst out singing opera when I see him "act."

[soapluva]

It's Torkildsen for me, Lowder tries too hard IMO;he appears to be insincere to me . Jacob Young did the same thing .

[DaytimeFan]

EXACTLY!

I'm just waiting for him to burst into song and jump Liza Minnelli.

[MichaelGL]

Perhaps they cast Lowder as Rick so they could some day say that Rick is Ridge's son, bc I see no difference in the horrible acting we get from both actors.

JT for me bc I didn't watch B&B when JY was in the role.
